The storm was really bad. Power poles broke in two under the weight of the ice. Lines are down EVERYWHERE. We could be without power for another three weeks. People in town are lost. IT's almost dangerous to be in town. People in the country are better equiped to deal with it. We have a generator that we run for an hour in the morning and one in the evening. Then my husband takes it around to the neighbors and runs it at their houses to keep their deep freezers frozen and let them draw water.

We have it pretty good really. I can cook on the wood stove and we've had some really yummy meals. I had to do wash in 5gl. buckets yesterday. It wore me out! all of our big trees are badly damaged. we'll have to cut three down and maybe more. A county crew was able to clear the dirt road yesterday. Every time we go out we have to take chainsaws to cut our way through to where ever we are going and when it's time to come back more trees are down so we have to cut our way back again.

I just had a few minutes to get on and do homework, but where am I ... HERE!

I hope you are all well. Shalot, did you get any of the bad stuff? I hope you are well, too!
